ramcharger440 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hey if he can keep up and still get some shots off he will be ok i just worry he will fade as the game goes on. he was an extreme talent he may have one more gasp in him?

I don't think he will see too many breakaways but I can see him being effective as a net front presence and a pure shooter on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claremont Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Will be very interesting on kovy tonight - are they trying to set him up for success by appointing him on first line and pp? Did he earn those spots or is it a safe distraction to take pressure off the kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Kovy is that he was never the model of consistency. Even in his prime he'd go from a nearly 100 point season down to a 75 pointer and then back up to 90. In Jersey he had a 60 point year & people said he was done. Then the next year he was back up to over a PPG pace. He left the KHL at over a PPG and in LA he put up a (prorated) 45 point year. So... can he bounce back with us to a 60 point season? Age is a factor obviously (he'll never score 90 points again) but with the right linemates i dont think 50+ is out of the question. He's already on pace for a 45 point (prorated) year this season anyway. I think he can be a useful player although ideally he'd be on your 3rd line (somewhat sheltered) rather than your first if everyone was healthy.
